Can you turn off "soap opera effect" completely?

Yes. It's called "smooth motion effect" on this TV and can be set to High, Medium, Low or Off in the Advanced Picture settings on the menu.

The only way to power it off is to unplug it. To turn the enhancement off you can turn the effect level to 0%.

As others have mentioned, you do see a Viera Connect ad when you turn on the TV but you can disable this by going to Setup, Advanced Setup, Viera Connect Banner, then select 'Off.'

Lisa, I haven't actually seen the "soap opera" effect come up in normal HD tv yet, but I did see some of it show up in 3D. To be honest, I haven't had time to tinker yet...so, I will do my best to let you know when I have the time to research it.

Just so you know, most sources that that have calibration set ups on them tell you to turn the Auto Motion Plus OFF. I'm sure during some things it is good, but when watching a movie with it on it actually creates what is called the soap opera effect. It makes everyone seem like they are moving just to slow due to the extra frames the tv is making. When watching movies you dont even want to use the Auto Motion Plus feature.

What you're probably hearing is the in-body image stabilization (IS) in action. If you turn that off in the menu, does the sound go away?

Go to menu on your remote, then to picture settings, go down to advanced picture settings and click on that, go down to cinema mode, then use the right and left arrows to choose between video and film effect. I believe you want it on film effect such as I have to get rid of the soap opera effect. Hope that helps!

No, you don't have a control of that, just select << or >> if you want to skip the current song...

Sorry, this feature is not defeatable. However, most customer have reported a smooth, blur free picture with a natural, film-like image with little or no "soap opera effect".

Yes, you can turn it off, but you will need to pick another mode. If you don't have a cable service with HD, then don't even bother watching shows with this TV. Sadly, the definition is so good, that the standard cable service looks bad. Plasma (this is my opinion) is the worst of the three ( LCD, LED and Plasma). The graphics and quality of the images (HD or 3D) are beautiful. I already gave you my opinion about cable, so I'll tell you about the rest: Videogames: They look like you are watching a movie! Movies (DVD): It depends of the quality of the movie, a couple of them may look bad bacause of the ratio. Movies (Blu-Ray): Soap Opera makes them look like you are watching how the movie is being film. Movies (3D): I'll call this the best 3D you can get out there. My big concern was this. I wanted a TV with the best 3D definition for my movies. This TV went over my expectations.

There is no soap opera effect with this TV. This TV is apparently a 60HZ panel that LG is trying to claim "Trumotion 120HZ." Apparently LG started these shenanigans with some of its 2012 models. HDGURU wrote an interesting article on its website about this called "When 120HZ is not really 120HZ." There are also no menu options for changing the "Trumotion" settings on this TV, LG claims 120 HZ is "always on." Even though this TV is likely not 120HZ it still looks amazing and 3D is spectacular. This set is definitely a great value and most won't be disappointed unless of course you prefer the "soap opera" effect.
